Prediction: 1-2
Sheffield United
St James Park will host Saturday’s FA Cup game between Exeter City and Sheffield Wednesday. Exeter sit in the tenth position in the League Two table, but they are only three points behind the playoffs berth. The Grecians have big ambitions for the FA Cup as well, but they face a difficult task against the Championship side. Exeter City booked their place in the last 64 by beating Fylde and Gillingham.
The Owls, on the other hand, aim to build on back-to-back wins over Middlesbrough and Derby County. Sheffield Wednesday are high on spirits ahead of their FA Cup opener, and we predict that they are going to five fans yet another reason for celebration. Even though important midfielder Josh Windass suffered an injury in the 1-0 win over Derby County, we are tempted to put our money on the Owls, who have been showing signs of improvement of late.
